Testimonials
Ireland
“The study abroad opportunity has had a major impact on me as an individual. Studying abroad has expanded my perception of the world around me. It has made me appreciate the smaller things in life. I have learned to take the time to smell the roses and to not race through life. My time in Ireland has allowed me to take a step back and see that there is so much more to this world than what I see on a regular basis.
For this, I would like to say thank you to Rosemont and its School of Graduate and Professional Studies for this opportunity. To those who are considering if they should study abroad; do it. The experience that I gained from taking this opportunity will stay with me for a life time, and I am still seeing the benefits of studying abroad to this day.”
– Brandon Jones
Salamanca, Spain
“I learned more Spanish in the first few hours of being there than any class could have ever taught. It was the same for simply being in Salamanca. Everything was different; the air, the sights, the sounds, the world beneath your feet.
What I’m saying is that I learned more about the world, myself and those around me more than any class or book, because you’re there. That same land where Cervantes wrote Don Quixote, the land from where Columbus set sail to America, that same land in which Dali painted the limits of the visual experience. I highly recommend that anyone willing or yearning, travel to Salamanca because it’s an experience the likes of which you will never forget.”

The UC Core Curriculum and Professional Studies Core Curriculum General Education curriculum contains an experiential education requirement for all students. To comply with this requirement, the Office of Career Services coordinates internships, service learning, undergraduate research, and study abroad experiences to assist students in their learning activities. The office is a resource for students in securing internships during the academic year and the summer. Further, the office participates with faculty in the evaluation of internship goals and learning outcomes. The office also helps faculty incorporate Service Learning into their classes by developing contacts with outside community organizations. Service Learning relies on a pedagogy which involves cooperation between faculty, students and community organizations in an interactive learning experience. In an increasingly interdependent world, studying abroad is an important and vital component of any educational experience. With the assistance of this office, students can explore a large variety of study abroad options.
